I was finally ready to challenge Lenora. I had heard the rumors about her power, but I had a feeling of dread - that someone wasn't coming out of this alive. It was Ginseng vs. Herdier. I led with Leaf Tornado, Herdier countered with Take Down, which didn't do too much considering. I used Growth to make sure she wouldn't heal after the next Leaf Tornado, but then... something happened.

A black mist seemed to emanate from Herdier, and its eyes turned blood red, sclera and all. It let out a bloodcurling roar as it charged at Ginseng with full force. When it made contact, Ginseng coughed up blood, and he breathed his last.

I sent out Jagger to stop Herdier's rampage, though I had to heal him at times. Eventually, Herdier fell, and it returned to normal in an instant. Lenora was more than willing to hand me the badge, despite having one remaining Pokemon, but I knew I had to finish what I started... for Ginseng's sake.

So she sent out Watchog, and it too was possessed by the Black Rage, but I had faith in Jagger. He was a bastion of raw defensive power, and with a little healing, took down Watchog. I won the Basic Badge... but I lost my first Pokemon in the process.

After the battle, Team Plasma made off with the museum's Dragon Skull. We met Burgh of Castelia City coming out of the Gym. He wanted to team up with me to stop Team Plasma, to which I agreed, feeling if I could stop them, somehow, someway, Ginseng could be vindicated.

Then Cheren and Bianca showed up to help. Bianca gave me a Dowsing MCHN from Fennel, and a glimmer of hope sparked in my heart. If I could find a Revive, I would be able to bring back Ginseng. Lenora yelled at me to not let my emotions rule me, but I wouldn't listen to reason. As long as there was hope, I refused to believe there was no way I could get Ginseng back. Finally, I found the Revive and gave it to Ginseng ASAP. He was alive... Ginseng was alive!

Yadda yadda yadda, we went after Team Plasma, blah blah blah, we got the Skull back and I got a Moon Stone for my troubles, yakkity yakkity yakkity, Frankie evolved during the struggle.

Friend Safari: Pansage, Petilil, Gogoat

As of now, my focus is on Safaris with starters (barring Wartortle and Quilladin), but give me your Safari anyway. Chances are I'll find something interesting.

I decided to keep on with the Nuzlocke for a little longer. Today, I saved Bianca's Munna from Team Plasma, beat her, Burgh, and Cheren (though not in that order), and ended up catching a Sandile named Elton in the Desert Resort. I gotta tell you guys, I'm really wishing I had a Darumaka, though when I get to Lostlorn Forest, I'll buy me a few Super Repels and take a chance on finding a Pansear. I'm out of Revives, so now any deaths that happen are the real deal unless I get another one.

So Jagger's close to evolving into Boldore, and when I evolve him into Gigalith, would it be within the rules to trade an event Celebi so I can get Zorua in Castelia City and then just trade back the Celebi for Jagger?

I made it past the Driftveil Bridge, and into Driftveil City. I went to Cold Storage, and got my newest member, Susie, the Vanillite. I put the Exp. Share on her, and battled the trainers on the outside and inside. On the way, Lucy, my Solosis, evolved. I then sorta teamed up with Cheren and battled the Team Plasma members without any difficulty.

I trained a little while, and then headed towards Clay's gym. Niles destroyed everything in his path, but he did have a little bit of trouble with Clay. Excadrill spammed rock slide and put Niles in the red. Lucy helped to kill it, and Clay's last pokemon was no problem. I now have the 5th badge in my possession, and I am ready to head to Chargestone Cave.

Meander's Menace

Ok, I just started a Nuzlocke challenge on my Black game yesterday.
Rules:
*Nuzlocke standard rules
*Items can be used, but only the ones found in the wild.
*Only pokéballs can be bought.
*HM-slaves can be used, but not for battling or sacrificing.
*NO revives OR rare candies can be used to revive pokémon. It it faints, it's permanently dead. All fainted pokes are stored in the PC, in a box with the sky wallpaper.
*Repeats are allowed, seeing as I think much of the charm in a nuzlocke challenge is having more of one type, especially since they still fill different roles given their natures and IVs. Some pokes can be extremely ambiguous^^
*No keeping extras: if you have a team of six and you catch another pokemon, you must choose which ones to use and which one not to use. The one that is boxed cannot be used again, unless it is for HMs.
*In-game trades are allowed, but you can only trade a pokémon that has been legally caught according to the nuzlocke rules.
*Trading for evolution is allowed.
*NO REPELS are ever allowed.
*Legies can be caught if it is the first pokemon you encounter, still without using a repel (so yes, extremely improbable)

Ok, my character is a boy named Meander, and he just about had the best start possible.
The Tepig I chose, Torch, had these natures and IVs, figured out after some levelling:
Relaxed +def -speed
HP: 30 Atk: 24-29 Def: 27-29 Sp.Atk: 27-29 Sp.D: 10-19 Spe: 30
I was pretty extatic. Of course it ended up dead to a critical hit in the first gym, together with Herb the Pansage. The first Lillipup I caught, Persia, died to a critical hit before even levelling up once.
Things were truly looking dark, and the only companion still kicking was the second Lillipup I caught: Avenge. He is Calm with decent HP and Atk IVs, but pretty sucky everything else. He caught me a nice Munna, called Messi (it does kind of look like a soccer ball), with a bold nature and great HP and Sp.Atk IVs, so I'm rather pleased with that one. She also helps me out with catching things, as it has yawn^^

Progressing on my quest I caught a Patrat which I later sacrificed, and a Rash (of all things) Roggenrola, named Topaz, with all IVs in HP, Atk, Def, and Sp.Def between 20 and 29, so I'm very pleased with her.

To replace my awesome to-be fighting type, Tepig, is Jekyll the Timburr, with a calm nature (kill me) and IVs in all stats below 12, except HP. Meaning its attack stat is just about as low as it possibly could be. It sucks. I hope it will do its duties against the normal gym though.
Now I'm Audino grinding, hoping to avoid any more casualties in the upcoming gym.

I traveled trough Route 6 before Chargestone Cave and caught a Deerling named Daisy. (Boxed.) I battled all the trainers, but along the way, Susie died... I healed my other pokemon, and finally went into the cave. I saw N, but I ran into a wild pokemon before I could talk to him. I successfully caught a new team mate, Molly, the Joltik. I put the Exp. Share on her, and I am NOT planning on taking it off of her for a while...

In the cave, I battled all the trainers and explored. I defeated them all without a problem, including N at the end of the cave. Niles evolved around half way through the cave. In Mistralton City, I met Cedric and Skyla, healed, and took my first step on Route 7.

I started a Nuzlocke run on Pokemon Black about a week ago. Normal rules except that I will catch a new Pokemon each floor in a cave instead of one per cave.
I'll write out what has happened on this run:
I chose Tepig named Bacon and things started out good as I got Look Out the Patrat and Lily the Lilipup and kept on going through. I got Forest the Pansage from the Dreamyard and got a Purrloin named Kitty somewhere (I forget). Although shortly after everything started to go bad with Look Out and Lily dieing while training. Forest and Bacon made it through and I got a Lillipup which I named Pup who died too. I caught a Woobat who I named Batty who was fantastic. She could destroy everything and helped in defeating Lenora. I caught a Tympole named Frog Mario (who i left in the PC) and made it to the third gym who I beat. In the training process for the gym though, I lost Batty to a Roggenrola which is what I expected from the cave.

I went north and caught a Darumaka (Firilla who went in the PC) in the first part and a Sandile (Gary) in the second part near the Relic Castle. I chose the Tirtouga fossil, revived it, named it Crush, and added it to my team. Gary died in the training process but in the route east of Nimbasa, I caught OMG Dove! the Pidove who I trained to replace Batty. Unfortuantely she died soon after aswell. I defeated the fourth gym leader with Bacon, Crush, and Forest.

I caught a Gothita named Elmo west of Nimbasa who died due to a crit. While fighting my way through the Cold Storage, Forest died. I caught a Vanillite (Sundae) who died while training in the Cold Storage. I had to goes west and get a Deerling (Bambi) to replace it and trained Bambi, Crush, and Bacon to good levels for Clay. The gym went well until I made the stupid mistake of pitting Bacon against Clay's Excadrill thinking that Arm Thrust would be enough to take it out.... it wasn't and a Bulldozer killed it. It really sucked to lose my starter, especially since all I had now was Bambi and Crush. I got Firilla out of the PC and added it to my team and trained it. I went into Chargestone cave and got a Klink (Gears) to add to my team. I trained outside next to the healing house and lost Bambi because Jump Kick missed TWICE and killed it due to its effect.

After getting to Lv. 40 with Crush, Firilla, and Gears I made it through Chargestone cave and went to the tower north of Mistralton and caught an Elgyem who I named X and added to my team. With a lot of losses and losing my starter... I got a bit paranoid and trained Crush, Firilla, Gears, and X to Lv. 45 just to make sure I was ready for Skyla. Now I am going through Twist Mountain.
Team: Crush Lv. 45 Firilla Lv. 46 Gears Lv. 46 X Lv. 45

Right, so for reasons of my own I restarted this challenge. It is by far going better. I've updated my rules, though. This should make it more interesting:

Spoiler:- Rules:

1. If a Pokémon faints, it is treated as dead and must go into the last box of the PC

1a. If a Pokémon is defeated by a OHKO move, it is treated as severely wounded and cannot be used until after the next gym.
1b. If a Pokémon is defeated by a Critical Selfdestruct or Explosion, or is defeated at full health by a normal one of the previously mentioned moves, it is also treated as severely wounded.

2. Capture only the first Pokémon on each route.

2a. If the Pokémon encountered first is one previously obtained through any means, it does not count as the first Pokémon on the route, and is to be run from immediately.
2b. Shiny Pokémon can be captured regardless of whether or not they are the first encountered.
2c. Gift Pokémon do not count as the capture
2d. Trades do count as the capture
2e. Each level/portion of a cave/forest counts as a different route
2f. This rule does not come into effect until after I obtain my first Poké balls.

3. Legendaries may be caught

3a. Master balls cannot be used on anything except on Tornadus(If he is encountered on Route 10 first) or Reshiram(As it is required by the game itself).

4. All Pokémon must be given human names.
5. Breeding is allowed

5a. In order to be used, an egg must hatch in a spot that there have been no captures in.
5b. Breeding is only allowed if two Pokémon, which are the first captures in their respective areas, are in the same egg group(E.g. No catching a Ditto at the Giant Chasm just to breed unless it is the first encountered).
5c. The Duplicates Clause does NOT apply here.

Started with Snivy again, since it is my favorite starter of this generation. I was quite surprised and pleased to find out it was female. I beat Cheren and Bianca easily. I chose the first female name that came to mind for Snivy's nickname, which was Alexa. Caught a male Patrat that I named James on Route 1 and got both of them to Lv.7 before heading to Accumula town. Beat N easily, and made my way to Route 2. I caught a female Lillipup that I named Lily(It was while I was training it that I realized it was similar to the first part of her name. I got everyone to Lv.10 before heading to Striaton City. At the Dreamyard, I got a male Panpour, as it is a free Pokémon, and named him Mark. Got everyone to Lv.12 and challenged Chili. It was a rather easy fight. Back at the Dreamyard, my capture was a female Purrloin, which I named Jenny. Thanks to a large amount of Audino, I got everyone to Lv.17, with Alexa and Lily evolving. Beat Cheren on Route 3. My capture for that Route was a male Pidove that I named Alan. He died while fighting an Audino, so he was my first loss. In Wellspring Cave, I caught a female Roggenrola that I named Wendy. Beat Team Plasma and got to Nacrene City. Outside Pinwheel Forest, I caught a Tympole that I named Ryan. I trained everyone to Lv.20, Ryan included, before fighting Lenora, with James and Jenny both evolving. I beat Lenora with no losses, though it was a very real possibility. Inside Pinwheel Forest, I caught an Audino that I named Joy. Got the Skull back and made my way to Castelia City. On Route 4, I caught a female Darumaka that I named Emily(Who is awesome because she is Adamant). Got everyone to Lv.25 before fighting Burgh, with Ryan and Wendy both evolving. Beat Burgh's Whirlipede with Wendy, his Dwebble with Ryan, and his Leavanny with Emily. Afterwards, I did a tradeback with my White to evolve Wendy fully. Made my way to Nimbasa City, where I went on a catching spree. Caught a female Emolga(Abby) on Route 5, a female Gothita(Sam), on Route 16, a female Unfezant(Ally) in the Lostlorn Forest, a female Maractus(Laura) outside of the Desert Resort, a male Yamask(Tim) on the second floor of the Relic Castle, a male Sandile(Ben) on the first floor of the Relic Castle, and a male Siglyph(Nate) inside the Desert Resort. Now I am working on getting everyone(And I mean EVERYONE) to Lv.27 and then Lv.30. Just picked up a female Tirtouga, which I named Liza.

Anyway, on with the Nuzlocke! On Route 7, I battled and defeated all the trainers with ease. I had a little bit of trouble with the triple battle, but I pulled through with no fatalities. I completely explored, and found my route through Twist Mountain blocked, so I headed back. On request from the gym leader, Skyla, I went to Celestial Tower and caught a Litwick named Match. I am still debating if I should use him or not....

Back at Mistralton City, I decided to challenge the gym leader. I was hesitate to use my Galvantula, Molly, because I have lost a lot of new members lately. However, she completely dominated against all the trainers, and had no problem against Skyla as well.

With the 6th badge in hand, I traveled back to Twist Mountain, where I defeated Cheren with ease and got Surf from Alder. This is where I saved, and I plan to go exploring with my newly attained Surf next.

Starting up a Black Nuzlocke since my sister deleted the data.

Okay, starting off with the starter town, where I obtained my Oshawott I nicknamed Riku, ad started my battle with Bianca, Spoiler:- My Battle Against Bianca:

I sent out Riku, Bianca sent out Tepig.
Riku attacked first with a Tackle,
Tepig countered with a Tackle aswell, taking out a quarter of Riku's health.
Riku used Tackle again. Tepig did the same.
Oshawott used Tackle and Tepig used Tail Whip,
Riku used Tackle ALMOST finishing off Tepig, but Tepig used another Tail Whip, another Tackle I'd've been dead already.
Riku finished him off with a good old Tackle!
Riku obtained 43 Experience points.

Once again I sent out Riku, now with full health, and he sent out Snivy.
Snivy attacked first with a Tackle.
Riku countered with a Tackle.
Snivy used a Leer and Riku countered with Another Tackle.
Snivy then decided to use a Tackle as Riku used Tackle.
Then, Snivy decided to use a Leer as Riku finished him off with Tackle gaining 43 experience and a level up to level 6!

So my mom says she'll clean my room (If only my real mom were like that)
and I head to Juniper's to thank her, get my Pokedex, and head out to Route 1. There, my first pokemon is a Wild Lillipup I name Sora.Current Team
Oshawott~Riku
Lillipup~Sora

As soon as I got Surf, I gave it to Toby, and I flew to Driftveil City. There, I went in the water... and a female Frillish popped up. I throw an Ultra Ball, and I got my new team member, Hannah, on my first try. I slapped the exp. share on her, and flew to Accumula Town. I walked down Route 1, and surfed to land. There I battled a trainer, and walked through the grass to get some exp. A Pokemon I wasn't expecting came out... and I squealed. I am pretty sure everyone on my floor could hear me. Why? Because....

A Scraggy appeared. A Scraggy! I had no idea that they were on this Route, and I wanted it SOOOO badly. I sent out Niles, and didn't plan to attack it at all. Instead, I just kept chucking Pokeballs. However, she proved much harder to get then I thought. She kept escaping, and she was 7 levels below my Pokemon, but she almost SWEPT my entire team! I finally captured her with 3 hp on Lucy, 10 on Niles, 15 on Molly, and 12 on Toby. I am not kidding! Anyways...

Welcome to the team Leah!

After I calmed down from all the excitement, I continued surfing. I came upon some new land, and I defeated some trainers. I ended up at a rest house, and I saved right after I received a mysterious egg.

Rules:
-If a Pokémon faints, it will be boxed permanently.
-Only the first Pokémon encountered will be captured.
-All Pokémon will be nicknamed.
-No use of healing items. Only Pokémon Centres allowed.
-No duplicate captures.

I beat my Black version Nuzlocke (why do y'all have separate threads for the same topic) but if anybody here reads my comic, it would kinda spoil it if I posted my winning team ^^;
The next one im probably gonna nuzlocke for plot purposes is either gonna be LeafGreen or Sapphire
But on Bmgf, on a roleplay I started based on nuzlocking, I'm doin' a Platinum run (sorry fer going off topic)

I started one on White. I used the classic Nuzlocke rules. But if my Pokemon are healed auto after a battle and a death is healed, the Pokemon is allowed.

So, I started out and got my starter, Snivy, who I called Smugleaf. I beat Cheren and Bianca. I got to the first route and caught a Lillipup, and named it Prime. I got to Accumula and beat N. On the next route I caught a Purrloin. I named it Boogey. I got to Striaton and went to the Dream Yard and got Panpour and named it AquaMonkey. I went to the gym. I beat Lillipup with Boogey. The Pansage got a critical hit and that was the end of Prime. I continued on then ended for there.

Scrapping my scramble challenge (sorry to the people who suggested things..) because it wasn't going well at all...

So with that, a sudden urge to try a Nuzlocke bubbled in my mind! The most challenging... challenge of them all, and the only one I havn't done yet! First! My personal rules.

Spoiler:- Rules!:

Once a Pokémon faints, it is boxed, never to be used again.

Only capture the first Pokémon encountered on a route, unless I already have it, in which case I either capture the next Pokémon, or nothing in that route.

All Pokémon must be nicknamed.

No limit to what can be bought from Pokémarts.

If a Pokémon faints, but then straight after the battle is healed (such as when fighting Nurses/Doctors), then it is not counted as 'dead'.

Different area's of the same place, count as the same, meaning if I capture a Pokémon on the first floor of a cave, I can't capture another on the second floor, unless the Pokémon found there are completly different.

I deleted my old game, and started a new one. I chose to be a Girl, named Chihiro (after the Spirited Away star), and found myself in my room, a box infront of me. When everyone arrived, I chose my starter Pokémon, a Tepig! Later, I'll named it Okkoto! I battled Bianca's Snivy first. I won, as the battle was relatively easy. Next up was Cheren's Oshawott. Another easy win. When I finally got to route 1, I captured Heen, the Patrat! After healing up in Accumala, I trained Heen on route 1, but a nasty critical hit meant we had our first death, even before the first gym! It was a sad moment for us. After that, I decided to make sure I wouldnt loose Okkoto, and raised him to level 9 on route 1. I then proceded to see the Plasma talk, and battled N. Quite an easy battle, Embers burn coming in very useful! After healing up, I saved and came off for the day.

Team Okkoto - Lv.9

Dead Heen

NOTE: All future posts will most likely be in the recent happenings thread, instead of here.

Well, I am currently doing a nuzlocke in my Pokemon White, and I am training for the Elite 4. However, I do not know how high of a level I should train to. I also do not know whether I should replace my Liepard with a level 41 Deino I caught in the Victory Road. Help would be appreciated!
